here's hoping they end up winning it and get to open the tourney in minneapolis... can you imaging 20,000 bison fans at the metrodome for an opening round game?

My brother, NDSU, sister-in-law and nephew (UND fans) are coming down for the tourney regardless.
I'm waiting to see if the Bison come to the Twin Cities and if they win. It would be great, but they have to win that Summit tourney to get in.

I hope NDSU beats Oakland's ass tomorrow. I always love when a school makes it to the tourney for the first time or for the first time in a long time. C of C is the only school I can think of that made the tourney on their first year of being eligible. They actually got an at large bid before they were even allowed an auto-bid.

Understand the snow storms - but you only get to see your schools first ever NCAA bid once...I was glad I was there for NAU's in 1998.

If there is a next game and it is in Minneapolis, I'll be there.
Maybe meet up with TwinTown?

If they end up playing in Minneapolis I might even have to drive down to watch. Hell it's only 240 miles from Fargo.

I'll be at the opening round games... even SU gets seeded in Boise. I've got friends all around the region who've gone to a whole host of schools in the tourney.
I'd love to see them in the dome... 20,000 screaming Bison fans... again.

I'm hoping that UNI and NDSU get put in the same bracket, hopefully KC or Minneapolis, with both pulling upsets off in the first round and play eachother in the second. I would be at both games and would LOVE IT.

It's a pain when you have to wait to get approved. I'm registered up there, haven't posted in a couple months though
